Damn I gotta learn FL Studio.

This Fantom is hindering me. Software > Hardware nowadays
No. No. No. No

You're being hindered by the fantom?

How? you have everything that is needed. You have great sounds, a decent sequencer, decent drum pads, good keys....

itd be cool to find a way to incorporate southern producers on rhythm roulette, but if not, i hope this youtube channel does a similar sort of challenge for producers who dont sample. its just fun to watch folks make fire beats

Which one do you have? I have seen plenty of producers use mpcs in conjunction to a fantom but plenty will just get on a fantom and go to work
The X6 which is dated. Only gonna keep it because I have a bunch of great samples on there and I can use it as a midi keyboard.

I hope FL has an easy learning curve. Software intimidates me :old:

just subscribe to busyworksbeats on youtube, dudes tutorials are fantastic. sit with like, 3-4 in a row and youll be crankin out fire

but also plan to get into adding other vst and sounds into FL. the stock stuff is ok, but i feel like alot of these producers are using add-ons like nexus and omnisphere and shyt like that.

i get bored of the sounds, but i know that you can freak em by using EQ's and effects too. thats gonna have to do for me, until i can afford to bulk up my FL setup

I honestly felt like this was their version of that concept. What's funny is I was watching the Large Professor one yesterday I was thinking it would be cool if they showed the time it took them to make it.

A great piece of hardware it's an instrument for sure. For instrumentation you have to lead with the creative portion of your brain. Software for the most part is technical, pointing and clicking, fine tuning and adjusting- that's why people bytch about swing, timing and expression also why their is a demand for great sounds. FL or anything will never be able to create the magic that came out of motown because it was all live instruments.

Back in the day and even now engineers and mixers are tech guys that are in the studio and sessions with artists or producers who are singing (using their voice as an instrument) or people playing instruments.

Fantom is a staple, definitely there are upgrades and be sounds and such that are missing but plenty of cats use Fantoms for putting together tracks and playing.

I was a Fantom Stan hardcore for years, i thought if I got one it would be all I ever need. It definitely has all the tools and sounds but I for one didn't have that creative mindset from years of being technical and using reason. Putting tracks together pointing and clicking, dragging, having every sound at my disposal. I stopped fukking with that and started messing with instruments, guitar, keyboards/piano, synthesizers and am getting that creative edge back.
